Projects

2025 Typst Personal Website

Typically, maintaining both a CV and a personal website requires double-entry of information. This process is prone to error, and time consuming.

With the release of Version 13.0, Typst introduced a powerful new feature: HTML Exports. This functionality makes it possible to use the same Typst File to generate both the HTML required for a website and a CV from the exact same document!

Although html exports are still under incomplete and under active development, the community has created several helpful examples and packages, namely bullseye, for managing behavior for each compile target, and tufted, which provided much of the inspiration and guidance for this project.

Using these idea, I created the website you are currently reading, and my CV (with the help of some CSS and JS for styling).

2025 NixOS Configuration/Dotfiles

NixOS is a tool for declarative software package management. It provides several benefits, like easy management of packages, dependency management, reproducability, etc.

I recently switched from Debian (those dotfiles can also be found on my website) to NixOS.

My files are heavily inspired by Frost-Phoenix’s: https://github.com/Frost-Phoenix/nixos-config/tree/main.

The system is configured via Hyprland, Waybar, Swaync, etc. https://github.com/iniyanijoseph/nixos-config

2025 Gus the Goose

He declared that the future lies in the hand of the schoolmaster…He desired that society should labor without relaxation at the elevation of the moral and intellectual level, at coining science, at putting ideas into circulation, at increasing the mind in youthful persons. - Les Miserables

I wrote a little rhyme to explain discrete math concepts to children about a Goose named Gus:

2024 Debian Configuration/Dotfiles

I have been using Linux for the past several years. When I switched to a new computer, I decided to use Debian, and to gain some exposure to ricing. While setting everything up, I created a setup script for my dotfiles (mostly combining and riffing some other themes I found online). My dotfiles are publicly available here. This project taught me alot about how linux actually worked, how users were managed, how and where applications stored/read data, and how my window manager operated.

2024 Sensory Profile Assessment
Occupational Therapists in school-based practice often uses several assessments to measure student’s various sensory tendencies, skills, and preferences. These assessments are quite tedious to compute by hand. This project provides a UI to take these assessments, and evaluates these results, finally providing a CSV of the assessment results.
